It's obvious from what people have said in the thread that EVO is a serious contender/dark horse. The problem is, I've never played it, and therefore my votes by default go toward SMRPG and SoM. Personally, I'd advance SMRPG and Yoshi's Island if I were picking, but Yoshi's (somehow) isn't in the running.

Brutal round, in any case.

Fuck it. I'll advance all three and run a random 1v1v1 in the round of 16.

Out of this World is a beautiful, haunting, unique game no matter which version of it you play. I think Flashback was the game in regards to which I mentioned not being great at those sorts of puzzle action platformers, and the same is true of Out of this World, but I hold a super high regard for it just the same. The SNES one is the one I banged my head against the most. Super Castlevania 4 didn't really get its due from me last round; it's not my favorite Castlevania game and basically exists as LOOK AT OUR SNES GIMMICKS: THE PLATFORMER but it is really really good for being that and is still incredibly fun to play. I still leave F-Zero as something that is a good soundtrack with not a lot else there, and while I do really think Harvest Moon is an awesome game, it doesn't come above Super Castlevania 4 or Out of this World in this particular matchup.

I kind of want to be contrary and vote for Shadowrun over Super Metroid. My only real gut reason for doing this is because Super Metroid has essentially been remade, re-iterated on, and ripped off endlessly in the current indie landscape while Shadowrun still remains almost one of a kind. Super Metroid is the better crafted and more fun to play game, but Shadowrun actually leaves a much stronger impression as a stand-alone thing. Kirby wins out over Super Punch Out for me handily. I know in my heart a vote for Shadowrun is purely betting against the favorite, but I wouldn't consider it if Shadowrun wasn't such an interesting construction.

Fuck it, other people will shore it up. Shadowrun and Kirby. This is for Yoshi, goddamnit. Somehow.

EH?The only rules-based obstacle to that multiclass is the trade-off between essence and magic.The OTHER reason you can't do the omni-god-multiclass around a table is that your Jake-of-all-trades will be extremely outclassed by the other PCs that have focused their karma and nuyen investments into getting good at "their thing".
